Amber Sword-Chapter 751: Scene 115 Alchemy Treasury (3)_2
The value of three thousand Rubis coins exceeds fifteen thousand torr. After Brando sighed about the astonishingly high prices at Rubis, the trade port, he casually replied, "——But I really want to hear about your adventures."
"Lord, you know those are fake, merely fabricated memories."
"But they can also be said to be true, as they amalgamate the memories of thousands upon thousands of Rubis Mercenaries, creating something unique — that is you. In my heart, you truly exist." The young man turned around, looking at the expressionless maid.
"Thank you, Lord." Furlo replied calmly, "We venture to make money, to improve ourselves, but the money a mercenary earns is not enough to buy such luxuries."
"Actually, Dragon Power Potion is not considered a high-grade potion." Brando said.
But he knew the Wild Elf Girl was telling the truth. Although Dragon Power Potion was not high-grade, Brando knew that in the past period of Amber Sword, a formula for Dragon Power Potion was at least worth three million torr.
This is the first chapter of the game, the Empire of All Things at its inception. It is five years before the second chapter, War and Chaos, the last days before the most powerful Magic Tide in history arrives.
In the game, this period is called the Drought Era.
But time is already near.
Furlo looked at him without speaking.
"We have to deliberate again and again just to buy a suitable weapon, and we repeatedly mend our armor ourselves," she continued, eyes quietly looking ahead, "The life of a mercenary is very tough, licking blood off the blade, yet it's hardly a life of debauchery."
"It's the same for anyone." Brando replied.
"Whether a noble, a king, or a merchant, none has the right to superiority on this scale by virtue of high status or wealth. No one can feel perpetually satisfied, happiness is fleeting, and pain and melancholy accompany a lifetime."
Neither continued the conversation; they each had their own answers to what a human lives for.
At this moment, Brando heard heavy footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw the massive figure of the Fire Claw Lizardman Lord, Lopar, faintly visible behind a red tree. Its dark red skin and crusty dark scales were identical to the red tree bark, forming a natural camouflage.
But Brando saw a hint of inquisitiveness in the light-yellow rhombus-shaped pupils of the Lizardman, tinged with vigilance. The young man paused and asked, "Is there something, Lopar?"
Brando summoned this Lizardman Lord on the second day of entering the forest; keeping it in the territory was hard to explain, so it was more appropriate to keep it closer for now.
He not only summoned Lopar but also a squad of Fire Claw Spearmen, a total of thirty. Initially, their strength was merely at Black Iron Peak. However, Lopar provided the special ability 'when the Fire Claw Lord is on the field, all Fire Claw Tribe units gain 1 Battle Indicator,' which forcibly turned this card into 'Fire Claw Elite Spearman.'
The Fire Claw Elite Spearman possessed Silver Lower strength, a biological level of thirty-two, nearly on par with Rubis Mercenaries bonded with 'Myriad Forest.'
In this adventure, the Fire Claw Lizardman Tribe — consisting of Lopar and its thirty subordinates — was mainly responsible for vigilance tasks at the periphery. Occasionally, Brando would direct them to let a beast or two slip through to test the young people's reactions.
So far, it seemed satisfactory.
Lopar looked at the young lord without speaking. It bent down and placed a stone in Brando's hand — you can imagine how imposing this creature, nearly two and a half meters tall and a third as wide, was. Brando felt an overwhelming sense of pressure as it bent down.
Brando took the stone and paused for a moment.
It looked like a crystal, completely transparent, with grid-like patterns emitting a faint glow. It seemed to absorb light, turning into an impure black, the crystal felt cold to the touch.
Brando was startled, "Where did you find this?" This wasn't a crystal but a scale of a War Snake Lizard.
"A pond," Lopar said nothing, but its hand gestures clarified its meaning to Brando. It conveyed that Antitina and Tiya had discovered the pond and found small patches of scales within it.
This indicated the presence of a Snake Lizard Beast nearby. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Snake Lizard Beasts are descendants of the great sea monster Hydra. They once proliferated abundantly, but humans later drove them into the barbaric regions. There are many variants of Snake Lizard Beasts; for instance, Dark Elves rear Shadow Nine-Headed Snake Lizards as war beasts, while the barbarians in the southern semi-civilized regions and swamps use Five-Headed Primordial Snake Lizards for worship.
Generally speaking, a Three-Headed Snake Lizard roughly corresponds to Gold Initial, and a Five-Headed one reaches Golden Upper strength. Nine-Headed ones develop the Enlightenment Element, and the strongest Twelve-Headed Snake Lizards are said to have a bronze body.
Brando became intrigued. It is said that the scales on the chest of a Snake Lizard Beast are blessed by the great sea monster Hydra, making them extremely precious alchemical materials. Moreover, while the blood of these beasts does not rival Dragon Blood, it surpasses Dragon Blood Moss irrigated by Dragon Blood. It can be used to make Dragon Power Potion, with even better efficacy.
With this in mind, the young man stood up. He clapped his hands at Kulan, Qian, Yulier, and the group of young people in the distance, drawing their attention.
"We've got work to do!"
...
(PS: Someone asked this question. Yes, Skill Levels 15-25 are all Holy Sanctuary; beyond 25 is called the Divine Domain, but no one has reached that level.
Additionally, Brando's Level 16+2 does not mean Level 18; +2 is an extra bonus, with each +1 bonus after Master-Level roughly increasing proficiency by 10%.)
